The device features Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 SoC clocked at 1.4 GHz (with an Adreno 205 GPU), 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screen (protected by Corning Gorilla Glass) with a resolution of 480 x 800 and 8 GB of internal storage.[2]

Reception[edit]

Early evaluations have been favorable. One of the best (and least expensive) Windows Phone 7 devices available, according to PC World. If you have been looking for a good smartphone on a budget then this is the phone for you".[3] The Verge rated it at a 7.1 out of 10, touting its design, software, and performance, while suffering through poor call quality and camera performance.[4] Engadget praises the "unassuming phone", concluding that "You'll make some sacrifices on the camera, storage and battery fronts, but if you can live with that the Focus is a veritable steal".[5]
